Psalm 3
Domine, quid multiplicati
The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 8 verses
- 1
LORD, how many adversaries I have! *
how many there are who rise up against me! - 2
How many there are who say of me, *
"There is no help for him in his God." - 3
But you, O LORD, are a shield about me; *
you are my glory, the one who lifts up my head. - 4
I call aloud upon the LORD, *
and he answers me from his holy hill; - 5
I lie down and go to sleep; *
I wake again, because the LORD sustains me. - 6
I do not fear the multitudes of people *
who set themselves against me all around. - 7
Rise up, O LORD; set me free, O my God; *
surely, you will strike all my enemies across the face, you will break the teeth of the wicked. - 8
Deliverance belongs to the LORD. *
Your blessing be upon your people!
